Benefits of technology

[0007]Accordingly, comparison of the voltage difference with the reference voltage is easily affected by noises in the related art while detecting the current. In the present invention, a voltage difference in a detecting element is compared with a bias voltage, so that the above-described issue is avoided. Accordingly, it is able to decrease power consumption arisen from current detection and to further increase conversion efficiency.

Problems solved by technology

As a result, the detection easily fails, and the erroneous operation is induced.
How to provide a detecting circuit with high conversion efficiency thus becomes an inevitable issue in compliance with the current trend that the operation voltages of the electric elements become lower and lower.

Embodiment Construction

[0019]Please refer to FIG. 2, which is a schematic diagram of a current trigger circuit according to an exemplary embodiment consistent with the present invention. The converting circuit CONVERTER has a detecting resistor R, which a current I passes through. A bias voltage unit BIAS has a first detecting end and a second detecting end respectively coupled to two terminals of the detecting resistor R. In addition, the bias voltage unit BIAS provides a bias voltage dV to one of the first detecting end and the second detecting end. A trigger unit DET is coupled to the bias voltage unit BIAS. While a voltage difference I*R across the detecting resistor R is raised up to a level higher than the bias voltage dV, the trigger unit DET immediately generates a current trigger signal Itr with a high level. Since noise interferences from circuits of the first detecting end and the second detecting end coupled to the trigger unit DET are mutually offset, current detection is almost not affected ...

Abstract

A bias voltage is compared with a voltage difference in a detecting element according to the present invention. A bias voltage unit is coupled to the detecting element, so that they have a common voltage level to avoid noises when the circuit is operating. Accordingly, the erroneous detection caused by the noise interference can be avoided. Hence, a detecting element with a low resistance, such as an MOEFET, can be used in the present invention to decrease power consumption arisen from current detection and to further increase conversion efficiency.
